Experience Christ’s healing love in the sacrament of reconciliation. “God knows our struggles. He knows that we often fail. Yet His love never fails. No matter how many times we stumble, we find Him ready to receive us again. In the sacrament of penance, we encounter a God who does not simply wait for us but rushes out to meet us. This is the beauty of the sacrament.” – Bishop Walkowiak The season of Lent by its penitential nature is an opportune time for anyone seeking forgiveness to receive God’s unfailing mercy and restore and renew their relationship with Jesus through the sacrament of penance. During The Light is ON For You, individual confession will be available in most of our churches from 5-8 p.m. Please contact the parish ahead of time to confirm participation. Fr Mike will be at St Mary - 5PM -8PM

Come pray the Stations of the Cross.

Soup Supper Friday, April 11 at 6:30PM The Soup Super tradition is a gathering to pray and share a simple meal during Lent. At this meal we share by placing our abundance in a common pot, eating less ourselves, and bringing the surplus to those in need. This year, we will enjoy two simple "meatless" soups and bread. There will be a “pot” at the door for contributions to the Saint Mary Parish Christian Service Fund. Please RSVP to the parish office. (Join us for Stations of the Cross prior to Dinner)
